Anyone fishing Big Toad? I have heard it is a better lake during the open water season.

Some were walking on for Crappies.

Walleye bite should be good this spring around opener....otherwise there are nice slab crappies, some sunfish and lots, and lots and lots of rock bass!

Thanks hammerem. I won't make it up there until mid June now. I have been going to Osage for a weeks vacation of fishing for 8 years now and haven't fished Big Toad yet. I intend to give it a try this year for Walleye. I stay on straight lake and have at time done well for Walleyes but on a whole the walleye fishing is rather slow (for me). I always do well on bluegills, bass and northerns on straight. In the past I have fished Bad Medicine for Trout and done well in mid June. I have also fished the straight river for Browns and done well (catch photo release). I really want to focus on some walleyes this year. I did some scouting and Big Toad is close to where I stay so I was going to give it a go this year. I practice catch and release and never keep a walleye over 21 inches. My weekly trip is not used to stock up my freezer. I love the area and start looking forward to my weekly trip every year long before the ice even comes off the lakes. I actully went to Straight lake in 1995 for my honeymoon. Can't beat getting married to a woman that loves to fish. Thanks again and maybe I will see you up there sometime.

Another good option can be Island lake in June. It's not far from Big Toad either. Lots of rocks, walleyes, smallmouth ect. Can be a frustrating lake though too.

As far as Big Toad goes, I would work the Island and the point right next to it using a lindy/minnow or jig minnow combination.

Thanks, I can't wait to get back up there. As far as I am concerned that area is the best.

      Heading up to LV a week from today with the kids. Any advice for us? Staying on the West side but open to traveling if the weather permits.   The way the last few weeks have gone, might stay for good!!!

      Do have Wi-Fi in your house. Your going to need that to work with any of the cameras that send a signal and video to your phone.  Hardwire is the best but battery power workers well for about two months then you have to pull them and recharge them.  It is nice to sit on a beach in Key West and keep an eye on your house when gone! 👌

      With all the craziness in the world I’m looking at getting an outdoor security camera setup for my home. Anyone have ideas on what works well without a huge cost  and easy to do . Or is it better to go with a company to set it up.  We have recently had copper thefts in the area at farmers fields and bin sites and I know it will only gat worse as these things always do. I probably want something that hooks up to my phone as well and wondering if there is a good one with either battery life or if wired is better. Any thoughts are welcome.

      Aren't they the ones that ran into problems about illegal bait? Anyone know how that turned out?

      You launch on Moose Lake to get to the motorized portage. It's called Prairie portage. To get to the portage you put in at Moose Lake. From Moose you go into Newfound Lake. From Newfound you go into Sucker Lake. On Sucker is where Prairie portage is. There is a dock on the American side and on the Canadian side there is big sign welcoming you to Canada. Latourell's Resort runs the portage and the cost for the portage is $40 for a round trip.

      Will that blond haired kid have that cool little orange boat in the show this weekend? Saw him driving around by Muskego Point a few times this summer.

      Nope, there are parts of Basswood that allow motors.   Entry is from Fall Lake, and there is (I think) a motorized portage.   It is really popular in the spring...
